The series of Engineering Professional Practice modules are designed to be taken to support your work placement. ENG150 - Engineering Professional Practice 1 and ENG250 - Engineering Professional Practice 2 can be taken concurrently as foundational learning for your placement. ENG300 - Engineering Professional Practice 3 should be enrolled in to align as closely as possible with undertaking your placement hours and completing associated compliance forms - you ideally should have found a placement but not yet commenced when enrolling in this module. The first 3 modules must be completed before enrolling in the final module, ENG400 - Engineering Professional Practice 4, typically taken during the final year of your degree.
Introduction
This short course is the first in the group of four modules to be completed as professional practice.
This short course is designed to introduce participants to the Profession Ready Industry Merged Engineering Degree (PRIMED) program and its compulsory work placement component. It provides background information and outlines key requirements for both elements. In addition, the course develops essential professional skills, with a particular focus on crafting a tailored curriculum vitae (CV) that aligns with specific position descriptions.Summary
